Wow; while I've never shipped things to [many] other countries, I thought it would be cheap... understood - I'm always willing to ho> pa> offer
things that aren't in my daily bag; its surprising that it costs ho> pa> that
much just to send presents to Greece!! :P

It used to be pre-COVID, but I think it all normalizes slowly.
I just found various rPI and Odroid components from US Amazon and
shipment to Poland is about 12-15 USD. That's OK for door to door
service to me.

I'm m0re than happy to send any community folks any 'things' that I have that might help another...

But didn't realize there were tarrifs, or otherwise, that others had to put up with. :P

Hell, at least Tuxedo computers are cheaper for those over the pond... :P

If I only have 10-15h for a game in a single calendar month timespan
then many modern game come with a tutorial that is lengthier than that
and I fail to even properly start.

I think of the hours I spent playing DOOM and DOOM II. If it moves,
kill it. Find secrets. Find big guns. Don't Die.

DOOM 3 had NPCs walking me through the game explaining it to me.

I prefer the former.

I mean, Doom 3 was also MOSTLY "Find secrets. Find big guns. Don't Die." It just did so with a bit more of a plot, and a more intentional focus on trying to be "scary." An entirely different feel from my beloved Doom 1/2, but I liked it a lot.

I think, Dead Space delivered Doom 3 much better.

I don't disagree with that. Refined to be an actual survival horror game, but still with plenty of shooty bits. Did you play the recent remake?

Nope, I just completed DS1, I still have DS2 and 3 in my backlog on X360, but that already belongs to a library that only gets dust these days.

Yep. There were so many great games that generation - I still have a lot of 360 games I want to play. Luckily most of them are still playable on One/XS or have been remastered at some point. I hear the DS1 remake is great though. Adds some new/cut content, redesigns some systems. I'm sure not every change is an improvement, but in general it seems to have been well received.
